Vehicle registration plates of Lebanon generally have a blue bar to the left like in European Union countries (except without the 12 golden stars) if the plate is European standard. The blue bar is to the top if the plate is North American standard. The blue bar consists of the name of Lebanon in Arabic (لبنان), the Lebanese Cedar tree in the middle, and the vehicle's classification all in white. The rest of the plate is white, with a Latin letter representing the vehicle's registration area and Arabic numbers next to the letter in bold. Different colors represent different usages (e.g., red ones are used by taxis and public transport, green ones are for rental vehicles, etc.). If the plate has the letter J, then the car is owned by a judge. If the plate has the letters AP or AG then the car belongs to a minister or parliament member.
The following style is X 999999 with numbers followed with Latin letters. X is town registered to:
